[Awaiting feedback] Checker for GC9Y71N

[Awaiting feedback] Checker for GC9Y71N

Hello,

i want a checker for my first challenge. The logger needs to have an average D2/T2 rating at least in any random year to be allowed lo go my cache.

Thanks in advance

I don't think that will be accepted because of criteria 14:

https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#positiveCriteria

Specifically the part where it reads what is not allowed "Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches." Your challenge 'punishes' people for finding caches with a lower D/T-rating, because it brings their average D/T-rating down.

A good rule of thumb recommended by my Reviewer is that is should not be possible to "un-qualify" (lose qualification status) just by continuing playing the game. You qualify once, you qualify forever.

(Unless of course you couch-log caches and then the CO deletes your logs -- of course then you might lose qualification status.)

This type already exists elsewhere so i don't zee the problem. The moment i have a checker the cache can go online says the reviewer

No, there are no precedents for Challenge caches. Just because one exists elsewhere it does not means that new identical ones can be placed. This is stated at the bottom of the Challenge Cache Guidelines page.

I recently reported such a Challenge to HQ. They quickly archived & locked the listing. I would double-check again with your Reviewer.
